Expanding?

Would it be appropriate to add some content on the actual ideas presented in the game? Such as what Delta Green (the group) is and how it works, enemies like Majestic-12 and the Karotechia, similar groups like PISCES and GRU SV-8, and so forth and so on? The article seems very uninformative about an award-winning game and the most important modern setting book thus far for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. - CNichols 04:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great to me. Many of the other RPG setting articles have such information.

Mechanics

How about some info on the mechanics? is it a d20 game? Are there character classes? etc etc.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.65.141 (talk • contribs) 17:25, December 9, 2006

This really could use some expansion. It's based on the Call of Cthulhu RPG, which uses the BRP ruleset. A new printing is due out that also supports d20, but hasn't made it to stores yet. Once that comes out, I plan to get a copy and do a major update on this article. -- Kesh 03:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The d20 print, and the reprint flopped, miserably.75.173.82.131 (talk) 08:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracies

There are a few gross inaccuracies here. First, DG did not go rogue during the Reagan Admin. They went rogue long before that, in 1970. 2nd, no administrations have had contact or deals with the Greys. Majestic-12 has had contact and chosen to inform select presidents. To say an administration struck a deal is grossly inaccurate and counter to the intent of the setting. Furthermore, the initial meeting with the Greys occurred on October 31st, 1980 which was still the Carter administration, not the Reagan administration. I'll make these changes if no one else disputes them.

Premise section contains numerous issues

1 "Set in the modern day". The game is set in the pre-Homeland Security era, when there were lots and lots of individual agencies of various sorts. This needs to be conveyed to the reader somehow.

2 "groups like a modern-day offshoot of the Nazi Ahnenerbe organization". Says who?

3 "Delta Green is designed to raise ethical and moral questions". Says who?

4 "The second supplement Delta Green: Countdown proved somewhat controversial". Says who?

Apart from this, I've indicated a number of weasel words with the ^[who?] template. These claims needs to be sourced or removed.

Regards, CapnZapp (talk) 10:21, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to #2, the description of the Karotechia organization specifically states that it is a subset of Ahnenerbe. I will also edit the description to address point #1; I daren't tackle the other two, as my wiki-fu is weak. 129.81.217.252 (talk) 00:11, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to be a pedantic git, the modern era ended about ten years ago, being that an era is a period of five hundred years. It should probably be edited to say the late modern era. 75.173.82.131 (talk) 08:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An era is not a fixed period of 100 years. Eras are fixed periods, of pre-determined lengths, but are not equal to 500 years. Canterbury Tail talk 13:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Preceded X-files"

According to the page, the first publication of Delta Green was in '97. The X-files started in '93. So why the claim that Delta Green preceded the X-files by more than a year?

There's a citation, but the link is dead. --166.249.133.193 (talk) 17:13, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delta Green first appeared in print in the magazine The Unspeakable Oath and the first articles concerning it were published at the beginning of 1993. Conjecture would also suggest then that they were written and conceptualized much earlier, but even the first published date preceded the first screening of The X-Files.

Gameplay

'At the point of their relationship with bonds, if the relationship points fall, the connection with the bond will be crossed out.'

Could someone clarify 'At the point of their relationship with bonds...'?

Regards to all, Notreallydavid (talk) 04:47, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's ... very clumsily worded. The concept is that if you "spend" the last point of a Bond, the Bond is no longer valid and you cross it out on the character sheet. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 16:22, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
